    This is incredibly heart-wrenching. The male lead is insecure and goes berserk, smashing things whenever the female lead is away, begging her not to abandon him, even if it's not a public declaration of love. He's constantly shifting between his rage and his fear of upsetting her, apologizing profusely. Later, he even attempts suicide by cutting his wrists, using the female lead's hand to stab himself in the heart. The female lead, a transmigrator, doesn't want to repeat the original plot's control, so she initially dislikes the male lead but gradually gets used to his presence. I just discovered this great book and I'm recommending it immediately!
